Subsequent to its world premiere nearly one year ago, the Jeep Avenger is now gearing up for launch in Australia. The brand’s first battery-electric production model and their smallest vehicle yet will arrive in the Pacific country in 2024, though interested parties can already register on the official website and make the first step towards securing a build slot.
At this point, you are probably waiting to find out how much it costs Down Under. However, the Stellantis-owned company chose to keep this major detail close to its chest for now, stating that the pricing and full specifications for the Australian market will be announced close to its launch. Offered with a zero-emission powertrain, the Jeep Avenger has a WLTP-rated autonomy of 400 km (miles) or up to 550 km (miles) in the urban jungle. It supports fast charging, taking three minutes for an added 30 km (miles) to the range. From 20 to 80%, the all-quiet model needs to be plugged in for 24 minutes.
Measuring 4.08 meters (in) in length, it is the most compact Jeep yet, though it does have room inside for five people and their luggage. It sits in the subcompact crossover segment and features Level 2 semi-autonomous driving, with stuff such as autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind spot monitoring, automatic parking, and a 180-degree camera with bird’s eye view being standard. The 10.25-inch Uconnect infotainment system is included, and the secondary screen behind the steering wheel, which acts as the digital instrument cluster, is offered in the 7-inch configuration as standard or with the optional 10.25-inch display.
Sharing its construction with the Opel Mokka-e, DS 3 E-Tense, and Peugeot e-2008, the Jeep Avenger subcompact electric crossover is offered with a single electric motor in Europe, which drives the front wheels. It develops 154 hp (156 ps/115 kW) and 192 pound-feet (260 Nm) of torque, sipping electrons from the 54 kWh battery that sits under the front and rear seats and central tunnel. It features a CCS 2 socket for fast charging at up to 100 kW, and plugging it in for five minutes will give it 28 miles (45 km) of range. As we already mentioned, the total autonomy of the car is up to 248 miles or 400 km on the WLTP cycle, and it can be driven up to 342 miles (550 km) in the city.
Besides the battery-electric powertrain, the Jeep Avenger is also offered with a gasoline unit in the Old Continent. However, since the automaker hasn’t mentioned this variant at all for Australia, it is likely that they’re not planning to launch it over there. Or not yet, anyway. So, do you wish the Avenger came to the United States, too?
